Cobol to C GPL compiler
What is it?
Cobcy is a free COBOL compiler distributed under
GPL rules.
Cobcy is intended to compile ANSI COBOL sources. The current version does
not yet support everything (in fact, some people use the word "puny" when
describing the feature set), but enough for a beginner's program.
The funny name comes from COB[ol]-C and a 'y' to indicate how to
pronounce 'c'.
I am writing it for experience in compiler building
and because reason was that no free COBOL compilers are available
anywhere on the net. In fact, the only publicly available compiler,
which is distributed as shareware, cobol650, is very nagging
and difficult to set up (I gave up on it). cobol650's only
value to me were the example programs, which I use to tests my compiler.
I found them to contain a few bugs, by the way.
Anyway, read through the rest of the docs:
